#1 'Nothing is too good for the soldier, and that's generally what they get.'

#2 It's like American ruling class trying to provoke a revolution.

#3 The VA stinks. Won't pay for heart attacks during fitness tests. Won't pay bonuses.

So, who wants to go next?

#4 What's laughable is they pull crap like this and then expect the military to be on their side in a civil war?

The ruling class is living in an illusion. When the inevitable happens, they will only have a crumbling MSM, Hollywood, Wall Street, and government bureaucrats, and little food and few survival skills on their side. They will not have the military, cops, gun owners, business people, or most people in fly-over land on their side. People are tired of getting screwed over and over by the ruling elite who live in a bubble.

When the inevitable happens

Certainly not suggesting anything, but it could happen like this, except nobody leaves town until the resignations begin to be televised and new elections announced.

#7 I'm not suggesting anything either, but the left really, really wants to neuter the 2nd. They most likely have considered the scenario of a 20M man march on D.C. with firearms.

#8 Are the estates of the soldiers who died down range being hit up by the accountants as well? If so then THAT needs to be publicized

#9 ....they'd hit the SGLI recipient(s) who wouldn't know enough to squawk about it.

#10 Do they want the military to cross he Rubicon? 'cuz this is how you get them to do it.

#11 Is this a program intended to get enlistments to fall? Who benefits from a weakened American military?

I have not heard of audits and investigation into foreign aid fraud ,have you? What about welfare and ebt fraud where money is given with no service in return.

This stinks to high heaven.

#12 1) There has to be some sort of statute of limitations on something like this.

2) President Trump will reverse this.

#13 Trump should pay for this bullshit. That would garner him more votes than any commercial on the leftist controlled television station.

#14 Obama has been trying for years to fine anyone who is in the military. Every time the Repunycans threaten to shut down the government, Obama threatens to cease paying military payroll.

With only a few months of Whitehouse occupation, Obama finally found a way to fine military personal.

Mission accomplished.
